“Anathema” in European countries threw the Kremlin on the interruption of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine – Dmitry Peskov “showed” the old continent that they are blocking a process in which, as he said, Moscow remains open.
“Communication channels are in place and work. Our negotiators have the opportunity to communicate through these channels. But for the time being, it is probably more expensive to say that there is a pause, “Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters according to Reuters.
«The Russian side remains ready to follow the path of the Pacific Dialogue. But the fact that Europeans are blocking him is really true, “Peskov said.
At the same time, the Kremlin stated that Europe’s concerns about Russia and Belarus military exercises that began on Friday were based on “emotional charge” and hostility to Russia.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Western European countries are undergoing a “emotional charge” and that Russia is not a threat to them.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said earlier on Friday that the two countries began the joint military exercise “Zapad” at the NATO doorstep and that it would include exercises in both countries and the Baltic and Barens seas.
